Pros: Price Size/Weight 30+ amps

Cons: No Oil included / Filling oil Removing the shipping mount Ail Filter Cover is hard to remove

Overall Review: I have debated getting a generator for awhile. Two recent power outages pushed me over the line and the price on this made it impossible to say no. I'm not too worried about being off the grid electronic wise but wanted something that would cover a few basics: Heater - winter time Refrigerator - extended outage Sump pump - if the King Kong El Nino ever shows up Unit came well packaged and without any fluid in it or the box. This is nice so I could turn the unit completely upside down to help remove the metal brace and wood block that holds the engine firmly in place for shipping (it has rubber mounts that isolate the engine from the frame under normal use). You are going to need some basic metric hand tools for this 12-14ish MM socket or end wrench and a hammer. I don't know if its typical or not as the instructions actually shows two metal brackets. I really had to hammer the wood block to get it out enough to remove the bracket. Had to make a trip to get oil since it doesn't come with it, I used Mobil One 10-30. Takes about 20 Oz according to the book. While you're out, get a good smallish funnel otherwise it is going to be difficult to get the oil in the hole. I removed the spark plug so I could rotate the engine over easily with 4-5 pulls on the cord after I filled it with oil. I'm not sure if these engines are test ran so I wanted to make sure oil got where it needed to be prior to startup. Put some fuel in it and it started up on the second pull. Don't fill it up with a lot of fuel unless you plan on running it or use a fuel additive. Our oxygenated fuels don't store well in small engines. As with any small engine it's best to run it out of gas to avoid trouble due to the previous mentioned fuel. It takes a good while with this engine so just turn the fuel to "off" and go get a coffee. There is a set screw for the running RPM in case you need to adjust the frequency sine wave of the AC output for connecting to a UPC. There are a lot of other reviews about this unit on the internet that give it high marks by people running it hard and with long periods of ownership so I'm feel really good about adding this to my "what if" tool kit.

Pros: See prior review

Cons: This board seems to have an issue with the bios incorrectly reporting the CPU temperature. My replacement board also reported very high cpu temps, all the way to 90+C with 68F ambient temp and good airflow in the case. I moved the board to a full ATX tower case and with 3 fans blowing on the board and a PCI-E video card. Still reading 60C in the bios. I installed the OS then installed Core Temp. It is showing a live temp of about 25C with min/max being 23C/46C.

Overall Review: I now have a ton of time into what should have been an easy build. I even posted this issue on the Intel Community forum and got no response, not really impressed with Intel and their "server" boards at the moment. I'm going with the hypothesis that the bios is wrong and putting the system work, worst case it burns up and I buy a DQ67EPB3 to replace it as I have had nothing but excellent experience with them. Also for all the people looking at this board for VM's. It does NOT support VT-d while the DQ does. I really can't figure out what Intel was thinking, leaving this feature off a Server board that was seemingly custom made for VM labs yet including it on a consumer workstation board. This cost it another egg. Only flawless operation regardless of the bios temp reading from this point forward is going to keep this from becoming a product I recommend avoiding at all cost. My high temp readings are with the .12 and .18 bios, Xeon E3-1245 rev D2 as well as an i7-2600 cpu.

Pros: Big for the price.

Cons: Bought this the end of March and today it no longer gets hot. Fan comes on and everything else appears to be normal.

Overall Review: Device has a 1 year warranty but when you go to their website, it only seems to apply if you purchase directly from their website. See below. I purchased from another source and I think the product might be defective. Email us or call 1-877-474-1122 to discuss your issue. We may be able to troubleshoot your problem and save you the time and expense of returning your product. If we cannot effectively troubleshoot your problem, contact the company where the product was purchased to determine if you are eligible for a refund. Return policies vary according to store type and time of year. In general, it is best to begin the process as soon as possible.

Pros: If you need a bigger 'work from home' style laptop this should serve you well. Fuller style keyboard with number pad. I formatted and installed Windows 21H2 Pro so I could domain join. Depending on your feelings about Windows 11, this laptop shows its ready to go there. It was nice to see a laptop with a 64Gb of ram option. I am forever buying laptops and immediately adding more ram. Shipping was very fast in CA.

Cons: If you are going to reinstall windows from scratch you have to get the intel disk drivers. It took me a couple internet searches but found them. Copy onto your windows usb install.

Overall Review: Other than having a Win 10 Professional option, this was one stop awesome.

Pros: For the cost a very nice laptop

Overall Review: I immediately swapped in a bigger SSD and attempted a scratch install of Windows 10 21H1. The drive was not detected. This is a known issue with some Acer models. I was able to do it, but it took a bit of time reading and finding the correct driver from the Acer site to add to my install usb key. I deal with A LOT of PCs and mobile devices and this is the first time in decades that I've had to load a driver outside setting up RAID.

Pros: Case has comes ready to cool, 2 big fans up front and 3 below. Fans are quiet. It's not flashy without looking totally non-descript boring.

Cons: This isn't the case for you if you need 3.5 inch drive bays.

Overall Review: I have used their Meshify case on several other builds. I selected the Torrent after seeing the review on Levelone. The system is going into a hot, dirty environment so I wanted the fans and the removable filter screen. When I received this case, the office opened it to steal the box for shipping something. While moving it still in the plastic wrap, I managed to drop it and break the front cover. Just cracked, it can take a pretty good fall lol. I reached out to Fractal's support page about purchasing a replacement. During this time, the information about the fan hub recall had came out (GamersNexus). Fractal responded to my request about the cover within a day. What was nice, is their email also included all the information about the hub recall, instructions on how to remove it if I wanted to keep the case and continue using it without the hub, and how to request a replacement once it becomes available. It is a rarity to see a company address an issue across all departments so quickly. When shopping for a case, Fractal will absolutely be my first stop.

Good communication with the seller. There was a situation where the produce in stock was a newer revision of what was listed on the website. They contacted me asap and asked if the newer model was ok prior to shipping. Item arrived in good shape and is working great.

I ordered and it arrived in perfect condition. The best a vendor can do it be unnoticeable. I didn't even realize this was from a 3rd party seller. Would order from them again.

I've had several purchases with Antonline, both work and personal. Products have always arrived quicklu and I've got great service when things aren't perfect. I had to problems with a rather expensive AV receiver that I ultimately ended up returning. That model wasn't available anymore so they had to issue me an outright refund, no questions or delays.
